Dear possible reader of this book,
I wasn't sure I'd be able to write a book ever again after Canine
Quarterly reviewed my series, Tales from the House of Bunnicula. They
said I would never win the Newbony Award. Was I depressed! And I didn't
even know what a Newbony was! Luckily Delilah's read a lot of Newbony
books, so she helped me write this one. It's about a poor (but very
cute) orphan dachshund puppy named Howie Monroe, who lives on the
prairie and yearns for a chicken bone. (I know. Trust me.) Things really
get exciting when Howie and his best friend, the smart and well-read
Delilah, find a time machine and travel back to ancient Egypt where they
uncover...the mystery of the Pharaoh's tomb!!!
Uncle Harold (who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula)
says he thinks Delilah and I learned a lot about working together. I'm
just glad we're still speaking to each other, and I hope you like the
story.
Your friend,
Howie
